Let p be the number of pavilion seats and l be the number of lawn seats. Since there were sold 1400 tickets, we can write
[tex]p+l=1400[/tex]and since the total money was $32000, we can write
[tex]30p+20l=32000[/tex]Then,we have the following system of equations
[tex]\begin{gathered} p+l=1400 \\ 30p+20l=32000 \end{gathered}[/tex]Solving by elimination method.
By multiplying the first equation by -30, we have an equivalent system of equation
[tex]\begin{gathered} -30p-30l=-42000 \\ 30p+20l=32000 \end{gathered}[/tex]By adding these equations, we get
[tex]-10l=-10000[/tex]then, l is given by
[tex]\begin{gathered} l=\frac{-10000}{-10} \\ l=1000 \end{gathered}[/tex]Now, we can substitute this result into the equation p+l=1400 and obtain
[tex]p+1000=1400[/tex]which gives
[tex]\begin{gathered} p=1400-1000 \\ p=400 \end{gathered}[/tex]Then, How many tickets of each type were sold? 400 for pavilion seats and 1000 for lawn seats
How many pavilion seats were sold? 400 tickets
